UNIFORM CONVERSIONS, REPAIRS & UPGRADES

Discuss your own custom works and projects here.

I will be running random specials from November through December.

The specials will be for my basic RAID shirt conversions combined with a shirt purchase and basic FCHP combat knee conversions with pants purchase..

Sizes of shirts and pants will vary...be sure to check in every now and then to see what sizes I get in.

Check the AP ads clothing/gear section for the uniform and modification combo specials.

Answer:
By the time I do all the requested mods, it would be more simple and cost effective to just get a CTOMS belt. Cordura is tougher to do and takes time to do. Making a padded MOLLE belt smaller or bigger...or adding custom enhancements..etc here and there are much more cost effective and less time consuming for me at this point in time.

Custom project (acrylic fabric bites!) for "Tombstone".
A modernized "Commando" sweater...lol!
It fought me every step of the way....

The shirt is a little big on me, so it doesn't fit me very well for the photo.

Another M-81 woodland issue, rip-stop pants with FCHP conversion and button-to-velcro change-over at all closures.

I did these photos very quickly so the closures in some pics may appear to not be aligned..etc. I just didn't take the time to close everything properly when taking the pictures...

An ACU jacket repair/velcro replacement job for Mr. Prather.

All loop velcro was replaced (with the exception of the shoulder pocket velcro..the existing velcro on main pocket area was left but reinforced) with matching ACU loop velcro and all existing hook velcro was reinforced with new stitching...IR tabs were sewn back on...etc...etc...

Hot. Cannot wait for the money to send in some woodies for a RAID.

Part of an on-going prototype and changes/improvements on my own design (FCHP's):

The customer who owns these pants will be testing them out to see how well or how not-so-well, my new additions work. If the new additions work and are comfortable for the user under duress or in a combat environment, I will be offering the additions in the future...

You may not have seen these ones. They were posted a while back. They were done in September.

I have to say you do a amazing job. Have you ever worked with ABUs (Airman Battle Uniform)? I have 2 of each style uniform from BDU to NWU I would like to have done with a RAID mod. 1 done in a ACU raid style and another BDU cut. I have 12 different camo styles. Are there any you haven't worked with yet?
